Part 1: One fragment, r-v. Description: - Parchment - 201 x 62 mm - Ruled in blind, part of 19 lines, written-space 146 mm. by 62 mm. The scribe wrote an average of about 35 letters to a full line; between the recto and the verso here some 255 letters are missing, which is just over seven lines of text (to include the end of the last line here). The full manuscript must therefore have had 26 lines to a page.
